1\. Communicate Results of Recovery Actions
The Recovery Plan Guidelines (Environment Australia 1998a) clearly identify the need for education, public awareness and community involvement. Information from actions, particularly those collating the impact of threat (for example, bycatch data) will be fed into the recovery plan process through annual reports from participants (Table 26). Information will be collated by EA for circulation to the Recovery Team, the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (TSSC) and the public.
The need to evaluate the plan was discussed in Part 1 and is identified as an action (Table 26). The operation of recovery plans is generally reviewed after five years. The evaluation will assess the relevance of the objectives and stated priorities; assess the effectiveness of the actions to determine what objectives were achieved; and identify whether there are better ways of achieving the objectives.
The resulting report will provide guidance for the next iteration of recovery planning.
